Waltraut Körner, 1944 – 2018

Waltraut Körner | May16, 1944 – February 22, 2018

After bearing up with a chronic illness, our treasured colleague and friend Waltraut Körner passed away on February 22, 2018, approaching her 74th birthday. Her memorial service took place on Wednesday, March 7, 14:30, at the Kapelle des Pflegehaus Magnolia in Zollikerberg.

Waltraut was engaged in training at CGJI-ZH for decades, and for some time at ISAPZURICH. Ultimately, her painful choice to remain with CGJI-ZH was made not out of loyalty to one group or the other, but out of loyalty to her students at the Küsnacht Institute. Still wanting to bridge the divide, Waltraut independently offered fairy tale seminars open to all students—and she served on the AGAP ExCo for more than five years, right up to the time of her death.

Those of us who knew Waltraut greatly appreciated her rebellious and other-worldly spirit, her wry wit, her generosity and kindness, and her utmost dedication to the life of the soul and the unconscious. She is already grievously missed by many students, and by many colleagues and friends. May she rest in peace.
